Haiku Workshops with Maureen Sexton

Haiku Workshop Part I was held last Saturday March 7 from 1pm to 3pm at the Peter Cowan Writers Centre, Joondalup. The workshop covered a brief history of haiku, how to write haiku and looking for that 'aha' factor.
The group participated in various writing exercises and were set homework to do.

Part II of the workshop will be held on Saturday March 21
1pm to 3 pm
Peter Cowan Writers Centre
Edith Cowan House, Edith Cowan University, Joondalup
Afternoon tea is included
In this workshop we will learn about the all-important brevity in haiku, editing our homework, and explore publishing opportunities. We will also investigate other related forms.
Part II is available to those who did not attend Part I. For more information and notes, contact Maureen: [email protected]
